Bruins Win On Lucky Goal

Patrice Bergeron scored a goal when Devils' Paul Martin lost his stick in overtime. But hey, a win is a win.

Im not complaining.

Ambidextrous Pitcher Pat Venditte Makes Spring Training Debut, Look Out Danny Darwin

Surely you all remember Danny Darwin. He pitched for the Red Sox in the early 90s and was ambidextrous (he could pitch left handed and right handed).

The Red Sox never allowed him to pitch with both hands during a game.

Well, theres a guy playing for the Yankees named Pat Venditte and hes ambidextrous. And he pitched with both hands last night during a spring training game.

Unfortunately the video hasn’t surfaced yet, so heres an older clip of Pat Venditte doing what he does.

Marc Savard: A Broken Man

If you saw the Marc Savard press conference on Saturday, then you know what Im talking about.

It was spooky. Marc Savard was a shell of his former self.

He spoke softly and methodically. He appeared to be irritated and was definitely unforgiving.

Savard was blunt when speaking about the Matt Cooke hit that gave him a concussion and ended his season.

Savard said, “I think there was an attempt to injure.”

Matt Cooke has been trying to contact Savard but to no avail.

Savard commented on that. He said, "yeah, he has tried and he has tried to get my phone number and stuff like that. But from what happened I really don't, right at the moment, have any interest in talking to him.”

Do you blame him?

Cooke ended Savards season (and potentially his career) and left him a shell of his former self. Meanwhile Cooke gets to play hockey with no repercussions, no suspension, no fine, nothing.

Lets just hope the guilt eats away at him until he too becomes a shell of his former self. Then maybe he and Savard can talk.

Jonathan Papelbon Is Ok With Slow, Long Games Despite MLBs Plea To Speed Up Games

Man, Opening Night is gonna suck this year.

Last week, Major League Baseball called out the Red Sox and Yankees (and specifically Papelbon and Joe Girardi), telling them to speed up their games. , according to Yahoo Sports.

Well, Jonathan Papelbon has responded. He told WEEI:

“Have you ever gone to watch a movie and thought, ‘Man, this movie is so good I wish it would have never ended.’ That’s like a Red Sox-Yankees game.”

When asked about having to potentially watch a movie in 30-degree temperatures, the closer offered a solution, simply saying, “Bundle up and drink beer.”

Papelbon is a lumba head. He just doesn’t get it. What he is doing is bad for the game. It is turning people off to baseball. But he doesn’t care.

So if you're at the game Opening Night and Papelbon comes in, and the game is dragging and dragging and you want him to end the game, just remember that Papelbon is fine with his 20 minute, 30 pitch innings. Prick.

Scott Brown Is A Masshole! He Parked His Truck In Crosswalk In DC...and Boxed In The Car Behind Him

Senator Scott Brown is pissa. He parked his wicked famous truck in a crosswalk in Washington DC like a true masshole.  Not only that, but he boxed in the car behind him.

What a considerate guy huh?  Seriously, how the hell is the car behind him supposed to get out?  What the frigg?

The fine in DC for parking in a crosswalk is $50. I wonder if he’ll pay the ticket or pull a “do you know who I am? Im Senator Scott Brown!” haha

Jose Canseco To Testify Against Scumbag Roger Clemens

According to the NY Times,

"A lawyer for Canseco said Tuesday that he had been contacted three weeks ago by a federal prosecutor in Washington who was seeking to serve Canseco with a subpoena. The prosecutor wanted Canseco to testify before a grand jury that is investigating whether Clemens committed perjury when he testified before Congress in February 2008 and denied using steroids and human growth hormone, the lawyer Greg Emerson said."

Kinda makes you wonder why the hell the Red Sox still have a love affair with Clemens. Remember, the Red Sox have unofficially officially retired Clemens’ number 21 (they tell players that it wont be issued).

Note to Red Sox: GIVE SOMEONE NUMBER 21 AND LETS MOVE ON FROM THIS SCUM BAG.

He used HGH, he lied about it and lets not forget, he played for the Yankees and when he won a World Series with them, he said “now I know what it feels like to be a Yankee."

Red Sox new first base coach Ron Johnson wants number 21 and was told by the Red Sox that it is “unavailable.” Its time to give Ron Johnson number 21. Lets move on from this scumbag.

Johnny Damon Will Wear Red Sox AND Yankees World Series Rings

Johnny Damon has a 2004 Red Sox World Series Ring and he soon will be getting a 2009 Yankees World Series Ring.

When asked which ring he will wear, Johnny Damon told the New York Post, ” "I am going to wear them both.”

What?

Damon is basically that annoying kid in high school who is friends with EVERYONE.

Dude, pick a side. You cant be a Red Sox fan AND a Yankees fan….and you cant wear a Red Sox ring AND a Yankees ring. Even if you did play for both.

He is one of only six players to have both a Red Sox and Yankees World Series Championship ring--the others being Ramiro Mendoza, Eric Hinske, Tony Cloninger, Dale Sveum and Gary Tuck.

None of the above have commented.

I HATE SWEET CAROLINE. Ok, now that I have that off my chest, heres the ESPN commercial that has the internet buzzing.

Clay Buchholz and actor Adam Scott are singing "Sweet Caroline" but Nick Swisher wont sing along.

Im with you Nick. Anytime I hear that song, I cringe. Its not a baseball song. Its Neil Frickin Diamond. It doesn’t belong in a baseball game.

Old Time Hockey Is DEAD

The Bruins gave their fans what they wanted...sorta.

Matt Cooke got a pre meditated ass whipping from Shawn Thornton, Zdeno Chara got into a fight. But thats about it.

It almost seemed like contrived revenge. Nothing spontaneous, nothing from the heart and no passion. Its almost like Shawn Thornton fought Matt Cooke because thats his job...not because he wanted revenge.

Bobby Orr summed it up perfectly.

When asked what would have happened if one of HIS teammates got hit the way Savard did, Orr said "Tonight, we might be put in jail."

Need proof that Old Time Hockey is dead? Watch the Bobby Orr interview:

The Day Of Reckoning Is Upon Us

photo courtesy of Boston Herald

Matt Cooke will be in the building tonight. As will The Golden Boy Sidney Crosby, Colin Campbell, Gary Bettman and most of the 1970 Bruins team.

Tonight we will find out if the Bruins have the heart of a lion or a vagina.

Will Matt Cooke get his face punched. Will Sidney Crosby get, as Jack Edwards put it so eloquently, 9 teeth knocked out of his face?

Or will the Bruins show us their black and gold vagina and simply “fight for a playoff spot.”

Anything less than blood on the ice tonight will be a disappointment and will solidify their place as one of the softest teams in the NHL.

EVERY player on the Bruins should watch this video before tonights game

If one of ours leaves in an ambulance, then one of yours leaves in an ambulance

CALL THE AMBULANCE!

Shawn Thornton: "it’s not going to happen the way everyone in Boston wants it to"

The toughest guy on the Bruins was asked about Thursdays game against the Penguins and said the following:

“I don’t want to sound soft, but listen, we all want to take care of things but at this point in the season, we’re trying to make the playoffs, we’re one point up and it’s probably not going to happen the way everyone in Boston wants it to. Unfortunately.”

Shawn Thornton said that to the Stephen Harris of the Boston Herald.

I repeat, the TOUGHEST GUY ON THE BRUINS SAID THAT. Shawn Thornton is the quintessential goon. He is a pug-faced brawler.

Maybe he said those things as a smoke screen because he knows Colin Campbell is listening, but I doubt it.

Where is the arrogance? Where is the machismo? Where are the “big bad Bruins?”

Well, one of the “big bad Bruins” was asked to give a comment about Thursdays game with the Penguins and the first words out of his mouth were, “I don’t want to sound soft.”

Memo to Shawn Thornton: when you begin a statement with “I don’t want to sound soft,” you DO sound soft.

Bruins Will Honor 1970 Stanley Cup Championship Team on Thursday

Is the Bruins front office sending a message or what? According to : NESN.com , on Thursday, when the Penguins come to town for Redemption Day, the Bruins will honor the 1970 Stanley Cup Championship team in a pregame ceremony.

 

The following Big Bad Bruins will be in attendance Thursday: Bobby Orr, Ken Hodge, Derek Sanderson, John Bucyk, John McKenzie, Don Marcotte Gary Doan, Eddie Johnston, Dallas Smith, Fred Stanfield, Eddie Westfall and head coach Harry Sinden.

With the biggest, baddest, toughest Bruins team of  all time in attendance, how is the current Bruins team NOT going to crush the Penguins on Thursday?

The question is, do the Penguins have the balls to even show up on Thursday knowing that they will be entering into a backyard brawl with the toughest kid in school?

Dont be surprised to see Sidney Crosby get scratched from the game because of a phantom injury or Matt Cooke to all of a sudden come up with the flu that day.

Give Jack Edwards A Uniform On Thursday

Bruins announcer Jack Edwards has unbelievable passion for this Bruins team. He cares and it shows in his voice...and his laugh.

In case you haven’t heard it, here’s Jack Edwards’ maniacal laugh from the Flyers game last week after a big Lucic hit:

Victoria's Secret PINK Red Sox Merchandise Coming Soon...WHAT?????

According to Business Week,

"Victoria's Secret PINK and Major League Baseball announced the launch of an exclusive assortment of co-branded merchandise featuring the names and logos of the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals, marking the first professional sports relationship for VS PINK."


For those of you who dont know, Victoria's Secret PINK brand is targeted at high school aged girls and post-high school girls who are desperately holding onto their high school persona.

If you thought seeing pink-hat-wearing phonies who have no clue about the Red Sox was annoying then get ready for the next wave.

I remember being at a Red Sox game once and seeing a pink hat point at a Varitek tshirt and say, "how do you say that name?" Seriously?

And on more than one occasion Ive been at Fenway and heard a pink hat say, "why do they boo this guy everytime he does something," referring to the "YOOOOOOUK" chant.

This Victoria's Secret PINK thing is great for marketing (Im sure the Red Sox will make a ton of money from it) but will make the average Red Sox fan sick to their stomachs.

It boils down to this:  Red Sox fans wear traditional Red Sox gear to support their team.  Posers wear Red Sox gear like "I Only Kiss Red Sox Fans" shirts as a fashion statement. And to Red Sox fans, its disturbing.

NHL Disciplinarian Colin Campbell Will Be At Bruins Penguins Game Thursday To Witness Bloodbath First Hand

Colin Campbell has a lot of balls.

According to the Boston Globe, Colin Campbell will be in attendance on Thursday when the Bruins play the Penguins in the most anticipated game of the season.

Why would the most hated man in Boston, other than Matt Cooke, show his face at the TD Garden?

Well, should there be some sort of frontier justice, Colin Campbell no doubt wants to see it in person.

We can expect immediate post game reaction if there is indeed an “incident” and if Crosby or Malkin leave the game on a stretcher, expect a suspension to be handed down immediately after the game. Oh, the irony. Oh the disrespect!

Note to Bruins fans going to the game: get a good look at this face. All the venom you have building up inside, all the anger and frustration, all the utter hatred you feel is because of this man.

If Colin Campbell had suspended Matt Cooke for 2 games, all would be well in Bruins Nation.  But he didnt.  And the lack of justice has fans pissed off on a level that we havent seen in years.

He may be sitting in the press level, which is on the 9th floor of the TD Garden, but if he has half a brain he would show up to the TD Garden with a team of security guards and a gladiators combat shield.

A Collection of Matt Cooke Cheap Shots (yes, he’s done this before)

Here's a collection of Matt Cookes head shots (yes, he’s done this before) and reaction from Vincent Lecavalier, Jarome Iginla and Dion Phaneuf.

Im telling you right now, Colin Campbell will have blood on his hands if, or should I say when, something happens on Thursday.

Celtics Lose Another Stinker...Season Slipping Away

What else is there to say about the Celtics?  Is there really any hope?  Really?

Its over.  Whats the point of watching anymore?  There's no point.

Nomar Takes The High Road, Retires With Red Sox

Approximately six years after the Red Sox attempted to trade Nomar Garciaparra to the White Sox for Magglio Ordonez and failed (eventually trading him at the trade deadline to the Cubs for Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera in a three team deal), Nomar Garciaparra took the high road.

He sat side-by-side with the people who attempted to trade the Red Sox legend twice (succeeding once).

If you don’t remember the Red Sox "almost" trading Nomar to the White Sox for Ordonez, then you must be a real masshole. To a real masshole, history is “yesterdays newspaper.” Most massholes don’t remember past last week, never mind six years.

Please allow me to refresh your memory.

After the 2003 season, the Red Sox had agreed to trade Manny Ramirez to the Texas Rangers for Alex Rodriguez. In order to make room for Arod at short stop, the Red Sox would trade Nomar Garciappara to the White Sox for Magglio Ordonez.

Both teams agreed to the trade. Nomars face was actually taken off the Red Sox website but the commissioner rejected the Manny for Arod trade, so the Nomar Garciaparra for Magglio Ordonez trade was also nixed.

That led to a bitter bitter 2004 season. Nomar was unhappy, and rightfully so. At the time, he was LOVED by the fans and had won the Rookie Of The Year, back to back batting titles and was a perennial all star.

The damage was done and the relationship had irreconcilable differences. So the Sox traded him at the deadline for Doug Mientkiewicz and Orlando Cabrera.

The salt in the wound is the fact that the Red Sox won the World Series largely because of that trade.

Fast forward to today. Yes, the Red Sox owners were classy to let him retire as a Red Sock. But seeing Nomar sit next to the men who railroaded him speaks volume to his character.

He didn’t carry the bitterness for decades like Carlton Fisk.  He flew back to the nest before he became an old man looking to hold on to the past for a bit longer.

Nomar took the high road today. Welcome back to the Red Sox Nomar.

Boston Bruins New Official Theme Song

I really hope someone from the Bruins front office reads Masshole Sports and can pass this video along to the players.

Masshole Sports is declaring this the Official Theme Song for the Bruins.

Bruins Play-By-Play Announcer Jack Edwards Wants Crosby To Get Whacked For Savard Hit

If anyone on the Bruins had the passion that Jack Edwards has for the Bruins, Sidney Crosbys blood would have been on the ice after the Savard hit.

Bruins announcer Jack Edwards was on Felger and Maserati today and had some harsh words regarding what the Bruins should have done after the Savard hit.

When asked is the Bruins should have retaliated by drilling Matt Cooke, Edwards said, “you gotta go after Crosby or Malkin, you gotta take 9 teeth out of Crosbys face.”

When asked what he expected the Bruins to do next Thursday when the Bruins face the Penguins again, Edwards said, “you don’t go after Matt Cooke, you go after Sidney Crosby.”

The question is, will Claude Julien have the balls to order a hit on Sidney Crosby, aka the Golden Boy Of The NHL?

The unwritten rule in hockey when your star player gets knocked out (for up to 6 weeks like Savard) is to take out the other teams best player. But what do you do when their best player is Golden Boy Sidney Crosby?

Even if Julien does order the hit, will any Bruins player have the balls to take out Crosby and risk the suspension, fine and public backlash (we will surely see Barry Melroses mug on ESPN if "a hit" does happen)?

Well, the Bruins have to send a message. Their best player was taken out, for up to 6 weeks, with a cheap shot.  They cant just stand pat and be the whimpy kid in class.

Next Thursdays game will be epic.

It will be epic for the Bruins because it will determine whether or not the Bruins have the heart to make a final push for a playoff spot.  It will be epic for the NHL because it will tell us where the league stands right now.

Has the NHL become a league of wussies?  Or will the Bruins do the right thing and make the forefathers of the NHL proud?
